2 - Minute Order
Tue 04/30 12:49 PM
MINUTE ORDER (text only) authorized by Judge Lauren King. In response to the Court's minute order, Dkt. No. 13, Merch Traffic submitted a heavily redacted copy of an agreement between it and Tennman Brands, LLC. Dkt. No. 17 at 1-2; Dkt. No. 17-1 at 2-11. The Court did not ask Merch Traffic to submit only the portions of its agreement that Merch Traffic deemed relevant. Accordingly, the Court again ORDERS Plaintiffs to submit any applicable licensing or other agreement(s) governing their right to institute litigation involving the "trademarks, service marks, likenesses, logos and other indicia" at issue in this case. Should Plaintiffs wish to redact any portions of an agreement, they must do so in accordance with Local Civil Rule 5(g). The Court cautions Plaintiffs that time is short due to their own delays in filing this action and providing necessary information to the Court. (NAW) |
